Chapter 181: Detective
Liu Chengcheng was very concerned about the clown's murder and did not give up because of Yan Qingyu's scolding.
For a month, she went back and forth between the company's affairs and the clown's murder, but she didn't make any real progress.
This made Liu Chengcheng very depressed, and his mood became a little lower.
Assistant Zhang saw all this, he knew that if Zhu Tianyi was there, he would definitely not be able to bear to see Liu Chengcheng so depressed, so he decided to help her.
On this day, Assistant Zhang, who had been looking for a long time, finally had a harvest, and as soon as he came back from outside, he went straight to Liu Chengcheng's office.
"Miss Liu, are you free now? I have something to discuss with you. Assistant Zhang pushed open the office door and asked Liu Chengcheng directly.
Liu Chengcheng raised his head from work, nodded and replied, "If you are free, you can say it!" ”
"I found a reliable detective agency that can help you investigate the clown murder, do you need me to take you to the clinic for a consultation?"
Liu Chengcheng felt strange in his heart when Assistant Zhang suddenly offered him help, but he still confirmed to him in a loud voice: "Really? Are you sure it's reliable? ”
"You can rest assured, this detective agency has assisted the police and solved a lot of criminal cases." Assistant Zhang replied to Liu Chengcheng very affirmatively.
Anyway, I don't have a clue right now, so maybe asking for help is a solution.
After Liu Chengcheng thought about it for a while, he made a decision: "Okay, please take me there after lunch." ”
Assistant Zhang had no objection, and left first after agreeing to Liu Chengcheng.
……
After Liu Chengcheng and Assistant Zhang had lunch, they used their two-hour lunch break to drive to the detective agency he called it.
Although this detective office is located in the downtown area, it is also one of the many alleys in the troubled area.
"Didn't you say this detective agency is famous? How could it be in such a remote place? Liu Chengcheng looked at the chaotic alley in front of him and became suspicious of Assistant Zhang.
Assistant Zhang didn't come to step on the spot in advance, and he didn't expect this detective agency to be so difficult to find, so he was driving the car with a frown and concentrating on finding the way at the moment.
"The information I got is definitely correct, I'll find a way out, you don't have to be impatient for a while." Assistant Zhang spoke out to Liu Chengcheng and comforted.
Liu Chengcheng didn't embarrass Assistant Zhang anymore, and calmed down for the time being.
The width of the alley in front is different, and the commercial vehicle driven by Assistant Zhang only passes through the first two, and the remaining seven or eight are unable to pass through the commercial vehicle because of the width problem.
He reluctantly parked the car on the side of the road, and discussed with Liu Chengcheng with a little apology: "That Miss Liu, our car can't drive the rest of the alley, we may need to get out of the car and walk." ”
"What? It's so long and so long, how long will it take us to find it! Liu Chengcheng exclaimed in disbelief.
The depth of an alley is three or four hundred meters, and the number of alleys multiplied by eight is also a long distance.
Looking at the scorching sun outside through the car window, Liu Chengcheng felt that his eyes were black, but there was no other way.
"Alas! No way, let's get off! Liu Chengcheng, who hesitated for a while, finally agreed to Assistant Zhang's proposal.
The next moment, the two people who were not in a high mood got out of the car with reluctant faces, and went to look for the remaining alleys with the big sun above their heads.
The two shuttled through one alley after another, trying to find the detective agency.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and they only walked half the alley to find the detective agency, but they were also very tired.
The two of them were tired and sweaty, and panting into the detective agency in front of them, which didn't even have a signboard.
The detective agency is a one-in, one-out storefront, and the furnishings inside are extremely simple, with only a sofa and a desk.
A middle-aged man was dozing off at his desk.
Liu Chengcheng looked around suspiciously, she leaned over to Assistant Zhang's side and asked in a low voice, "Where does this look like a reliable place?" ”
"Don't worry, you can't just look at the surface." Assistant Zhang looked embarrassed and made up for it.
After speaking, Assistant Zhang motioned to Liu Chengcheng to wait first, and he himself walked in the direction of the desk.
"Knock knock."
"Wake up, it's time for business."
Assistant Zhang was now at the desk, tapping his hand on the table as he called out to the dozing man.
The middle-aged man hit a spirit, woke up immediately, looked at Assistant Zhang with sleepy eyes, and said, "Welcome, do you need anything?" ”
"We're looking for Detective White, is he there?" Assistant Zhang opened his mouth and asked the man in front of him.
The middle-aged man immediately stood up, stretched out his hand to Assistant Zhang with a smile, and introduced himself: "The contemptible person is Detective Bai Yan." ”
Assistant Zhang was stunned, but he didn't expect that the raunchy man in front of him was Bai Yan, a well-known retired police officer and now a private detective.
Just when he was stunned, Bai Yan had already taken the initiative to hold Assistant Zhang's hand and asked with a smile, "What is the name of this gentleman?" What did you come to me for? ”
"Oh, I wanted you to look into something." Assistant Zhang came back to his senses, took out a newspaper from his briefcase, handed it to Bai Yan, and asked, "Have you heard of this case, Detective Bai?" ”
Bai Yan glanced at the headline on the newspaper, nodded clearly, and said, "I know, if this is what you want to investigate, then you really have found the right person." ”
Liu Chengcheng, who was staying not far away, saw Bai Yan's confident appearance, and the doubts in her heart were dispelled a lot, and she stepped forward suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"What do you call this young lady?" Bai Yan didn't answer directly.
"Liu Chengcheng." Liu Chengcheng blurted out his name.
Bai Yan nodded, looked at the two people in front of him with a straight face and asked, "Do you know that there was a cosplay murder case in Texas three years ago?" ”
"I don't know." Liu Chengcheng and Assistant Zhang shook their heads blankly at the same time.
"A cosplay homicide is a serial murder in which the murderer cospawns into different anime characters, and the important thing is that the murderer is still at large." Bai Yan roughly introduced the murder case to them.
Liu Chengcheng's brows were unconsciously twisted, she had already vaguely guessed what Bai Yan wanted to express, if it was really like what she thought, then this matter was not a simple homicide.
"Do you mean that the murderer in these two cases is the same person, just by virtue of the characteristics of cos?" Liu Chengcheng asked Bai Yan in a loud voice.
"yes, that's what I meant." Bai Yan nodded without hesitation, confirming Liu Chengcheng's guess, and then he explained: "Actually, when the clown murder case was reported, I was very concerned about this matter, and I also went to the police station to find out the murderer's modus operandi, which is basically the same as the modus operandi of the Texas cosplay homicide. ”
Liu Chengcheng's heart chuckled, and the matter was really as he guessed, which means that this is not an ordinary homicide, at least it is a serial murder case.
The cruelty of the means is not only to kill a victim, then this murderer is a very dangerous person for ordinary people, and there is a high probability that there will be victims.
Liu Chengcheng didn't want to let go of this kind of person who endangered social security, and she was always at ease outside, she pinned her hopes on Bai Yan, and asked him: "Detective Bai, can I ask you to investigate this case, I have no experience in investigation, and I haven't made any progress in the investigation for a month." ”
"Of course you can, I'm also interested in this case anyway, but I don't have a helper at the moment, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to complete." Bai Yan agreed, but he also had other concerns.
Liu Chengcheng immediately recommended himself to Bai Yanmao: "You can rest assured that I can assist you in completing this together, you don't have a psychological burden, just call me casually." ”
Bai Yan's gaze swept back and forth on Liu Chengcheng's body for a while, then he shook his head and said, "Your thin arms and legs are useless, I already have a good candidate in my heart, I'll let him come over later." ”
"But, I ......"
"Miss Liu, if you don't worry about the person I chose, then you can stay and see it for yourself."
Liu Chengcheng originally wanted to say that she would also follow along, and learn to learn investigation methods by the way, but as soon as she said a few words, she was interrupted by Bai Yan's mouth, and she misunderstood what she meant.
Hearing Bai Yan's words, Liu Chengcheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she turned her head and thought about it, she felt that it was feasible, and she could be more relieved when she saw someone.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengcheng nodded and responded: "Okay, then I'll wait for him here." ”
"Then you guys are waiting for me here, and I'll go and get that stinky boy right away." Bai Yan got up and packed up his things while explaining to Liu Chengcheng and them.
Liu Chengcheng and Assistant Zhang nodded in agreement.
After that, Bai Yan quickly cleaned up the table, took a bunch of car keys and went out happily, leaving the two of them sitting and standing.
Now it's the time for the lunch break, Liu Chengcheng has the habit of taking a nap, and the sleepiness is gradually coming up, and he wants to lie on the sofa on the spot, but he is embarrassed in front of Assistant Zhang.
"Ahem." Liu Chengcheng cleared his throat and said to Assistant Zhang: "That Assistant Zhang, you should be very busy at hand, so you don't need to accompany me here, you go back first!" ”
Assistant Zhang thinks about it, he has been running around looking for detectives these days, and it is estimated that there is a large backlog of work.
"Miss Liu, can you do it alone?" Assistant Zhang asked uneasily.
Liu Chengcheng rolled his eyes, raised his hand and waved his fist at Assistant Zhang, "I'm not a vegetarian, go back quickly!" ”
"Then I'll go first, be careful yourself." After Assistant Zhang finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
"It's finally clean." Liu Chengcheng stretched his waist and shouted.
Next, Liu Chengcheng fell on the sofa, closed his eyes comfortably and prepared to fall asleep.
